Most companies even with hundreds of thousands of users only have a handful of people with this title, which kinda answers your second question. Sorry

called up Ferrari, presented them with our mag and mentioned that the mag was there 3 years ago to test the 575....
nothing special I guess. |
Yeah, most people seem to forget that it's not all that difficult to go up to a dealer and ask for a test drive.
Granted, it's harder in some countries, and it helps if you come at the spot in a decent car, but still. Never hurts to ask. It's what I did and landed several hours behind the wheel of a 360 and 550. |
in some countries you have to be 23 old :cry: ...for a honda...my schoolmate tried to get a test drive.

Great write-up. It's nowhere near experiencing it, but right now second hand experience is all I have.

This experience must have been unbelievable! Just reading your story gives me chills down my spine Thanks for the pictures komotar!
As for the test drives, Shinri_Shiogami is totally right. I've driven a E55, 645ci, Boxster S, Cayenne S, etc etc all just for showing up in my families S500. Keep in mind I was only 18 at the time.
And I hope your goal of purchasing a F430 or 360 within the next year or two occurs Shinri!

Awesome! Usually when our memebers report a test drive there are few or no pictures (myself most definitely included in that)...but wow! You have a ton of really great pics! 8) Great write-up too.

Thanks for the picture overload Cyril  MUCH MUCH appreciated I am happy it was yellow! Better than red to spot the car's lines! And well I already told you backchannel! You are lucky, I envy you badly but you deserve it and it's very nice from you to take the time to show us the pics

I was waiting for this eagerly ever since your PM last week, and I'm not disappointed!
As I said I thought me getting a ride in an F430 was great, but you've well and truly outdone me - congrats mate.
The pictures are superb, so nice to see the F430 in its natural habitat (home country)....and although yellow isn't my fav colour its still cool.
Keep up the good work, can't wait for what awaits you.
